Wesley's three-month stats

Wesley is 3.5 now, but we took photos and recorded his weight on his 3-month birthday so I could deliver this tardy post. (And I've already started his 4-month post, so as soon as we take a quick photo and have his 4-month appointment we'll be good to go!)

 Weight: 15.4 pounds.

Height: Still super long.

Head: Still pretty honkin' big.

Current developments include ... well, kid, in a good way, you were pretty boring this month. The biggest, most fun change is that you started to laugh. You've got quite a belly laugh/chuckle, and we all love to hear it. You also started to grab at toys, your night sleep stayed pretty steady (and great - thank you!) and you didn't do anything earth-shattering like talk or crawl or walk, which is OK - you've got time. You did make bedtime rather challenging several times, which wears on me since your dad is at work most nights.

Current habits include much of the same. Spitting up a lot, nursing/taking a bottle 4-6 times during the day and waking once or twice at night to eat (so he usually eats 6-8 times a day), sleeping in all kinds of places. There were many times when Wesley would sleep until 5 a.m. or so, sleeping from about 9 p.m. until 5 a.m., waking to nurse, then going back to sleep until 8 or 9 a.m. He basically doesn't wake up, which means I barely have to wake up. He's still exclusively breastfed, taking 3-4 four-ounce bottles a day while I'm at work. Most notable this month was a solid two-week stretch of green poop. Normal poop for breastfed babies is mustard-y yellow. Wesley's was spinach-y green at times. I don't think I changed my diet at all in a way that would result in the green poop, so the other possible culprit is that he was battling a virus. He seemed OK other than the poop ... a few days after his poop returned to normal, he had some congestion that lasted a little less than a week. We all battled a cold, but he was spared the worst of it, thankfully.

Wesley also has been anti-evening nap, which is no good for anyone. Basically he goes from when I pick them up from daycare until he crashes around 8:30 without sleep, and that's just not a good situation for him. If I can get him to sleep sometime between 6 and 7, he's a much more pleasant baby and stays up until about 9, but that just hasn't been happening very often.

He's in cloth diapers most of the time at home - officially out of the newborn prefolds and in to larger prefolds or BumGenius pocket diapers. Still in size 2 Huggies disposables.

Current loves include eating, baths, the activity mat, watching his sister.

Current nicknames Bro, Buddy, Chunky Monkey.
